You will be surprised what Hungarian children are learning about the Russian war in Ukraine
Change language:
New school year, new schoolbag, new pencils, and of course, we cannot miss the new books either. Eighth graders in elementary school will get the chance this year to delve into the fresh topic of the Ukrainian crisis and the Russian-Ukrainian conflict.
They will learn about the recent events happening in Ukraine. Everyone has access to the materials on the website of the National Public Education Portal. The country’s regions, agriculture and industrial development remain unchanged in every textbook. However, the new additions start with more emphasis on the composition of the population, as an introduction to its recent conflicts.
Ukraine is an independent country, part of whose territory, Crimean Peninsula, was occupied by the Russian military in 2014. Soon after Crimea was annexed by Russia through an internationally disputed referendum. In February of this year, Russia’s military forces attacked Ukraine using the composition of the population in Ukraine’s eastern regions as a Casus Belli. Since then, the nation of the country has been fighting for its independence, with the aid and support of the western states (excluding Hungary).
Orbánistan…what else? A dictatorship built on lies, corruption, nationalistic crap.
My mother was born in Budapest in 1926. She only learned that Austro-Hungary started World War 1 when she left Hungary in her 20’s – that was never taught in the schools in Hungary then. That might still be the case.
what is shocking about it?? that is the truth… should they learn anything else that ukraine army is using their own citizens as shields during the war?
In 1985 I visited Hungaria (I was a back then a Romanian citizen). I saw in Hungary a much freer and successful country than my own. The only thing to remember there (my Magyar mother – told me) is not to speak Russian. They have a very good motive to hate anything Russian.
WHAT CHANGED IN 32 YEARS?
